Successful applicants

Successful applicants will be required to enter into a Funding Agreement with the Victorian Government through the Department of Education and Training. This Agreement is to be finalised and signed during March 2018.

Funding will be provided to successful applicants in three milestone instalments: upon signing the Funding Agreement; upon the Department’s satisfaction with a midpoint progress report; and upon the Department’s satisfaction that project and its agreed outputs are complete.

The Department will support the academic publication of findings from complete Strategic Research Seed Funding projects.
